Product Information

Yes, Vida Glow Natural Marine Collagen can be mixed with coffee. For regular coffee drinkers, ‘collagen coffee’ is must-try with a sachet of Original. How does heat affect collagen? No. Firstly, collagen supplements are not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Secondly, a lot of collagen drinks are not vegetarian or vegan, because "collagen is mainly derived from either fish [marine collagen] or pigs [bovine collagen]", explains Karim. "It is often not very clear which types of collagen are used in different products and what their origin is – you often have to refer to the small print to find out," adds Dr Banwell. To be clear, collagen supplements are not a replacement for a healthy and balanced lifestyle,” cautions Dr Banwell. “However, a healthy lifestyle does not prevent collagen loss, so it is really two different things. Collagen drinks are designed to trigger a physiological response in the body, irrelevant of lifestyle. It’s a bit like asking if a healthy lifestyle means you don’t need to wear SPF. Of course you do and must! The functionality of collagen supplements cannot be achieved by anything you eat.” Collagen supplements are available as powders, pills or liquids – but collagen is most efficacious as a hydrolysed marine collagen powder drink, like Natural Marine Collagen.

Evening is the ideal time as your body goes through a cell rejuvenation and regeneration process while you sleep,” says Ghatora. “Consistency is key with this type of supplement,” adds Logan. “So if you find it easiest to take it in your smoothie in the morning, that's the best time, conversely, if you find it easiest to remember to take it in the evening, in your hot chocolate, then that’s the best time. The best results are seen with consistent long-term use. Should you add collagen to your coffee?Most drinks and supplements claim to increase collagen levels in the skin by hardwiring the protein – in the form of collagen peptides or hydrolysed collage – to go straight to the stomach. They're then broken down during digestion into amino acids, absorbed into your system and used by your body to build collagen or other required proteins. My advice? Stash some Collagen Liquid Advance in your car, on your desk, in your bedside drawers or in your carry-on luggage, and you can welcome the skin compliments from friends, family, strangers in passing and most importantly, yourself.

I have spent many years speaking with Lahey about my feelings towards collagen. Every time we get together to discuss the latest Vida Glow launch, our conversation inevitably ends up focusing on collagen. And despite her relaying a whole bunch of impressive information, I'm a stubborn thing, and nothing she can say will convince me that a collagen drink can make my skin look better. Every sachet contains a double dose of Vida Glow's clinically-proven natural marine collagen (5g). This key ingredient stimulates collagen production in the skin which is essential for maintaining skin's firmness and reducing the appearance of fine lines. To enjoy the other health benefits of collagen – which in addition to boosted skin are said to include enhanced hair and nail growth, reduction of bone loss, improved heart health, increased muscle mass, and reduced joint pain – studies recommend that adults consume between 2.5 to 15 grams of collagen per day. Is there clinical research behind collagen supplements? If you're keen to commit to a collagen drink or supplement, it's best to opt for a high-grade, hydrolysed version that has a much better chance of making it through the digestive process. Be cautious about filler ingredients such as added sugars, too.

So how long does it take to work? Skincare research and clinical trials show that visible results can be seen in three to four weeks of consecutive daily use of marine collagen. Even better, with regular use, consumers should see a noticeable reduction in fine lines and wrinkles by week six and and increase in skin elasticity and firmness by week nine. Sounds impressive, right? With one of the highest collagen doses on the market, this supplement is flavoured with lemon and can be squeezed straight from the sachet or blended into a smoothie.
